    Call me delusional, but I think the Blazers will get a bounce back victory here. Portland is hungry for a win, and will not want to lose twice in SA in less than a month's time. Blazers will have two full days off to rest and prepare for their opponent.

    Moreover, the Spurs will be on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, flying home from Orlando. They are an older team, so it's harder for them to bounce back physically. Though I guess it depends on who/how Popovich, the OG coach of load management, rests his players. Will LMA sit the night before so he can play his old team?

    I guess we'll find out.

    Don't you think it's an odd choice of jerseys for the game? Blazers are wearing black and the Spurs will be wearing gray. They are both a dark color (or shade), so there isn't much contrast. Boy, I hope the opposing teams doesn't pass the ball to each other on accident.

    It's surprising that the Blazers didn't choose one of their red uniforms to juxtapose those dull Spurs jerseys.

    Important road trip coming. Spurs coming b2b - then we have rockets, new orleans, bucks (coming b2b); cavs and bulls. We need to comeback at least 3-3 on this road. 4 wins would be awesome

    And another chance for “Blazer Fans” to bail on their squad when the chips are down.

    That should be an advantage for the Blazers since they don't pass nearly as much as Spurs.

    I really need the league to revert back to home white, and road dark setup. This shit is too confusing.

    I love those Spurs jerseys. Grey is my favorite color. I feel attacked.
